Don't trust large context windows
I recently watched a video that put a name on something I'd been feeling. The author splits an LLM's context window into two zones. There's the smart zone , where the model is sharp, and the dumb zone , where attention drops off and the model starts forgetting what you told it five minutes ago. The cutoff sits…

Levels of Agentic Engineering
AI's coding ability is outpacing our ability to wield it effectively. That gap closes in levels — 8 of them. Here's the progression from tab complete to autonomous agent teams.

Generally capable agents emerge from open-ended play
In recent years, artificial intelligence agents have succeeded in a range of complex game environments. For instance, AlphaZero beat world-champion programs in chess, shogi, and Go after starting out with knowing no more than the basic rules of how to play. Through reinforcement learning (RL), this single system…

Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
If vibecoding is what people say it is, the world should be drowning in vibecoded artifacts right now. Two years of access. Millions of people with the tools. The barrier supposedly fell, right? RIGHT? So where is everything?

I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night
I try to pay attention to the small things that affect my quality of life. When something keeps bothering me, I want to investigate, find a likely cause, and act on it. What changed recently is what I'm willing to build to support that. With AI tooling, projects I

I flagged two research papers for fake authors and both were accepted as orals
We reviewed 22 ML conference submissions this summer. Fifteen had fabricated citations, hallucinated authors, or clear LLM slop, so we complain about that a bit, and release the paper references audit we now run.

Image GPT
We find that, just as a large transformer model trained on language can generate coherent text, the same exact model trained on pixel sequences can generate coherent image completions and samples. By establishing a correlation between sample quality and image classification accuracy, we show that our best generative…

Word vectors are awesome but you don’t need a neural network to find them

I Am Not a Reverse Centaur
About a year ago I wrote on this blog about how coding with LLMs would not work for me, even if there were no ethical or environmental concerns preventing me to use them. I'm not going to repeat the…

Claude is not your architect. Stop letting it pretend
Somewhere between 'ask Claude for a quick opinion' and 'Claude is writing our Jira tickets,' we lost the plot. AI agents are brilliant implementers. They're also confidently wrong about every decision that matters. And when it all falls over, they won't be the ones carrying the bag.
